It's just past five o'clock and we arrived a short time ago in our hotelroom in Metz, in the north of France. This morning we left the Provence and on very quiet roads we raced through France, exactly for 700 km. Tomorrow we'll have to cover the rest of the distance.
Here it's also rainy and grey, last night a heavy wind kept me awake in the south of France, but the temperature promised to be a bit higher. All the time it's been far too cold there for the time of the year, one day 10 cm of snow fell on the mount Ventoux. This contrary to last winter, when no snow fell at all. Because people there need the melting snow on the mountains for their water supply, that was worrying. Now at least there seemed to be quite a bit.
Although the weather wasn't so good, we had a very nice time. We met old friends and made new ones.
More of our adventures later, after tomorrow, when we'll be back home. Then I'll also make the lay out as I want it and look for a couple of pictures.
